What law are they breaking? Not trying to defend Google or anything, just curious what law is blatantly being broken here because I don't know of one

Honestly not that ridiculous of a comparison considering California's size and GDP, we could be doing a lot better

Is it a bad practice to not tune your guitar as long as it sounds decent? in c/[email protected]
[–] sweeny 4 points 10 months ago

It depends, is your guitar plugged in to an amp loud enough that your neighbors can hear? If not, you do you lol. But you shouldn't have to worry about your strings snapping as long as you don't tune them higher than they're intended to go, I would go ahead and tune them

I think they still can but they have less fine control over which ad placements they disable? I'm not totally sure, but that's what this link seems to imply https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/6332943?hl=en

Those YouTubers have the option to disable ads on their channel if that is truly all the revenue they need, you don't need to make that decision for them

A Woman Was Denied Medication for Being of ‘Childbearing Age.’ She Just Sued the Hospital in c/[email protected]

This wouldn't be gross incompetence, it is a standard treatment that comes with pregnancy risks that the patient can choose to take knowing that they aren't going to give birth. All of those quotes youve selectively pulled are in reference to unexpected injury that isn't outlined in the waiver, so I'm pretty sure they wouldn't apply in this case. Neither of us are lawyers though, I wonder if any lawyer fed heads could chime in

Yes they do. In new york (where this took place), and most places, doctors are protected by liability waivers if the patient has informed consent. Read this for more information if you want an actual informed opinion on this

Nice imaginary conversation, I'm sure you're a totally qualified doctor and lawyer... just have the patient sign a liability waiver dude

That should be the women's choice to make though. She doesn't want a baby, if she has an unexpected pregnancy she will abort, so she doesn't need to take all that into account. She should get her treatment and a prior warning about pregnancy issues that could occur

My open letter to the tech industry on sexism, HR, and Linus Tech Tips (self.technology)
 

The Linus Tech Tips abuse allegations are yet another reminder that something absolutely needs to be done about the rampant sexism in the tech industry. If you haven't heard them yet you can read about them here, but be warned, there is some potentially very triggering abuse and self harm detailed: https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1691693740254228741.html

Madison's story is not unique - we have heard stories like hers time and time again. As a tech professional it makes me sick to share an industry with these horrible people, and to know that little is being done to reign them in.

So, what can be done about this? I don't have all of the answers, but one thing that comes to mind is that HR departments desperately need actual unbiased oversight, perhaps even from a governing body outside of the company. It has become common knowledge that HR’s primary purpose is to protect the company, and this prevents employees from speaking out and driving internal change even in terrible situations like Madison Reeve and countless others have faced. The way things are run clearly needs to fundamentally change

Let me know in the comments if you have any ideas on how we as a tech community might be able to address these issues, I am truly at a loss. All I want is for tech to be a safe space for everybody to find their passion and success, and it saddens me that we clearly aren't there yet.
